The hurricane was considered the worst in fifty years. Few houses were left standing either at Bay Saint Louis or at Pass Christian, and much of the Mississippi coast was desolate following the storm. A U.S. cutter was lost along with its thirty-nine crew members. The storm struck the same area that was hit 150 years later by Hurricane Camille. (David Ludlum) 1898: A severe thunderstorm produced considerable hail (some stones to 11 ounces) in Chicago, Illinois business district. Some people were hurt, not by hail, but by several hundred runaway horses spooked by the hailstones. 1930 - The temperature at Greensburg, KY, soared to 114 degrees to set a state record. (The Weather Channel) 1934 - The temperature at Grofino, ID, climbed to 118 degrees to establish a record for Idaho. (The Weather Channel) 1952 - A severe storm with hail up to an inch and a half in diameter broke windows, ruined roofs, and stripped trees of leaves near Benson, AZ. The temperature dropped to 37 degrees, as hail was three to four inches deep, with drifts 46 inches high. (The Weather Channel) 1986 - Severe thunderstorms moving out of South Dakota across Iowa produce high winds which derailed eighteen piggyback trailer cars of a westbound freight train near Boone, IA. Sixteen of the cars fell 187 feet into the Des Moines River. The thunderstorms also spawned a number of tornadoes, including one which caused twenty-five to fifty million dollars damage at Sloan, near Sioux City, IA. (Storm Data) 1987 - Thunderstorms in Nevada produced wind gusts to 70 mph at Searchlight, reducing visibilities to near zero in blowing dust and sand. Thunderstorms in Montana drenched Lonesome Lake with 3.78 inches of rain. (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms drenched Wilmington, NC, with 3.33 inches of rain, bringing their monthly total 14.46 inches. Seven cities in Michigan and Minnesota reported record high temperatures for the date. Marquette, MI, hit 99 degrees, and the record high of 94 degrees at Flint MI was their tenth of the month. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Afternoon thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging winds in Massachusetts. Early evening thunderstorms over Florida produced wind gusts to 68 mph at Fort Myers, and evening thunderstorms in South Dakota produced nearly two inches of rain in twenty minutes at Pierpoint.

made it 90 ahead of the clouds/smoke combo. EWR: 90 NYC: 89

88 / 57 clouds aproaching Queens from the east backing in.
-
80 / 59 NNW wind Can already see clouds rfom the cutoff pushing E-W into and through Long Island
-
Storms and rain Mon- Tue and convection Fri-Sun
-
74 / 61 - partly cloudy. Should be mainly a nice day - clouds from the cut off backing NW could see clouds E-W later in the day. Mid - upper 80s and to 90 in the warm spots with enough sun. Deal with the systems looping in tomorrow, clouds and showers, then the front Tue into Wed bring additional showers and rain chances. Hotter by Wed (7/31) once we clear the cut off and front. More humid and storm chances the coming weekend but remaining overall warm. Potential heatwave between the 31 and into next week. Debby could form by Wed/THu and threat the EC from FL to the MA.

Much of this dependent on the backing NW closed low Monday overnight. Then convection Tue / Wed . Summer theme keeps the MW/GL wet- Monsoon very active this year in the desert SW

75 / 53 and very nice out. A 72 hour stretch of really great weather this weekend. Mid / upper 80s today and Sat and Sun with the warmer spot reaching 90. Cut off low as the ridge builds north backs in Mon (7/29) to spoil the nice stretch. Continue a bit cloudy by Tue as front clears through. Hotter by the 31s with heat aimed north and inland initially and next heatwave. Tropics becoming forecast active, especially on the European. Ridge west / North and Atlantic ridge keep us caught between - warm - hot and humid with potential rain / storm chances.

83/68 the start of some clearing working through
-
It is a loser to endure mainly cloudy skies and not have the rain or storms, might as well hae been sunny. Cut off low backing NW Tue could trigger some storms.
-
-
Core of the heat (top 5) has been west of the city in parts of NJ / PHL, and record heat has been near the Balt/DC area. Perhaps another push of stronger heat 7/31 - early next month.

77 / 70 and cloudy. Continued one more day stuck in the muck - scattered showers. Ridge building north of us, dry out Fri (7/26). Weekend looks very nice near normal, warm spots near / low 90s Sun (7/28). Some Southerly / onshore component next week sees dewpoints rise as we sit between the influence of the ridge to the north and expanding Atlantic ridge later in the week. Pieces of the heat expanding east focus north and inland areas. Stronger heat later next week and beyond. Tropics could come active as well. The pattern would also trigger daily storms scattered mainly.
